Corporate Services as Externally Provided Service

[julsbear]

We are a manufacturing location transferring from TS to IATF. Our corporate office performs services for our location, but for other non automotive locations as well. The shared service has no interest in becoming certified, as a site or under our scope. Can we consider the service to be an externally provided service that we use and work to develop just as we would any other supplier of services?

Unless the rules changed when the 5th edition was published, they have to be included as a remote supporting function for each of the certified manufacturing sites.
